Sacked Speaker of Bauchi State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Abubakar Y Suleiman, says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) remains unbeatable in Ningi.
Daily Trust had reported how the appeall court sitting in Abuja annulled the election of Suleiman and ordered rerun in ten polling units in Ningi Central Constituency, which the lawmaker represents.
But in a statement signed by his spokesman Abdul Ahmad Burra, the speaker described the judgement as minor political setback.
The speaker said that he was ever ready for the rerun, boasting that he would add to the almost two thousand votes margin he gave his opponent.
Suleiman stated that the support and solidarity he had been enjoying in Ningi remained intact and no amount of effort to pull him down will succeed.
He added that conducting a rerun in ten polling units that are his stronghold is just like a walkover, wondering why his opponents insisted on “extending their pain of election defeat”.

The Speaker further said that he would not relent in his effort to bring dividends of democracy to the people of Ningi Central Constituency, no matter how some elements keep trying to pull him down.
He said although the judgement is unfavourable, as a Muslim, he believes in all fates thus he accepted the judgement in good faith.
The speaker urges his supporters and all people of the Constituency to remain calm, adding , “With the unprecedented infrastructural development initiated by Governor Bala Abdulkadir Muhammad in Ningi Local Government Area, PDP remains unbeatable in Ningi.”
